Scott is sincerely grateful for the opportunity to help folks navigate moments and seasons in their lives where beauty and growth, meaning and genuine connection, can be found in even very painful or bewildering experiences.  He utilizes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches with Interpersonal, Jungian and Somatic Experiencing to help folks move from where they are now to where they want to go.  Scott is trained in Individual, Family, and Couples therapy and is always curious about how his clients are doing in relationships--"the relationship with all the various parts of yourself, the person or people closest to you, and your higher power."  Scott includes faith as much or as little as his clients wish to have it included in the work. He has been doing psychotherapeutic work since 1997.  Married in 2004, Scott and his wife were baptized into the Christian faith in 2013 after practicing Buddhism for many years.  They have trans-racially adopted two children, fostered three others, and have a child who is a "bio-surprise" as well.
